Four drive-by deals tap the primary; Diamondback gains; United Naturals active

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Oct. 19 – Dealers had the pedal to the metal as the lights came up on Monday in the primary market with four issuers tapping the market in drive-by action.

Among them were Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc., Chobani, LLC, Starwood Property Trust, Inc. and Multi-Color Corp.

While the primary market was active, the secondary space started the week on soft footing as fading stimulus hope led to a sell-off in risk assets.

However, volume was light amid the weakness in the market as attention turned towards earnings and the new deals in the pipeline.

Several recent deals remained active in the secondary space and continued to perform well despite the down day for the market.

United Natural Foods Inc.’s 6¾% senior notes due 2028 (B3/CCC+) and Shift4 Payments, LLC’s 4 5/8% senior notes due 2026 (B2/B) were active.

While United Natural’s notes continued to improve, Shift4 Payments notes were little changed.

However, Ligado Networks LLC's 15½% first-lien PIK toggle notes were seen at a deep discount to their issue price in the secondary space.

Outside of recent deals, Diamondback Energy Inc.’s split-rated 3½% senior notes due 2029 were active and posting gains after S&P changed its outlook on the company to stable and affirmed their investment grade rating.
